There is a "ln of something", so a first step in the differentiation is to take the derivative of the logarithm,

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\,\ln\bigl( \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}} \bigr) = {}\rlap{\frac{1}{\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}}\cdot \bigl( \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}} \bigr)'\,\textrm{.}}\phantom{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot (x+1)'\Bigr]}

We can carry out the differentiation of \displaystyle \sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1} on the right-hand side term by term to obtain

\displaystyle \phantom{\frac{d}{dx}\,\ln\bigl( \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}} \bigr)}{} = {}\rlap{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \bigl[ (\sqrt{x})' + (\sqrt{x+1})'\bigr]}\phantom{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot (x+1)'\Bigr]}

and it remains then only to differentiate \displaystyle \sqrt{x}, which we do directly, and \displaystyle \sqrt{x+1} (which has a simple inner derivative),

\displaystyle \begin{align}

\phantom{\frac{d}{dx}\,\ln\bigl( \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}} \bigr)}{} &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot (x+1)'\Bigr]\\[5pt] &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot 1\Bigr]\,\textrm{.} \end{align}

If we rewrite the expression inside the square brackets using a common denominator, we get

\displaystyle \phantom{\frac{d}{dx}\,\ln\bigl( \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}} \bigr)}{}

= {}\rlap{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x}}{2\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+1}} \Bigr]\,,}\phantom{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot (x+1)'\Bigr]}

and we can then eliminate the factor \displaystyle \sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x} from the numerator and denominator to get

\displaystyle \phantom{\frac{d}{dx}\,\ln\bigl( \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}} \bigr)}{}

= {}\rlap{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x+1}}\,\textrm{.}}\phantom{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot \Bigl[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\cdot (x+1)'\Bigr]}
